Ms. Emma was such a sweet and pleasant lady. I remember her from church. Thoughts and prayers with the family.
Ms. Emma was such a sweetheart. She was a wonderful neighbor. I will miss her. My condolences to the family.
I got to know Aunt Emma when she was at the Zebulon rehab center! I would go visit her when a l had a friend out there and still visited her after my friend passed away! Aunt Emma loved a Honey Bun so when I would go I always carried her one and somestimes coke or we got water, but I would sit with her while she ate it! Her face would light up in the biggest smile when she saw it! I missed her so much when she got moved so far away for me to visit but my prayers were always with her! I pray for her two sons and the rest of her family as she was a wonderful woman because I met her before she got sick! Ralph Boykin and I visited her is how I got to know this sweet wonderful lady! God Rest HerSoul!🙏🙏🙏 Ralph and I loved you Aunt Emma❤️❤️🙏
I will miss Aunt Emma. Before she got sick, whenever I was in town, we would go to lunch and make the rounds at all of the thrift stores that were close by. She always told me “ you never know what we will find and some day we will hit the gold mine and find something really great!” She would look and look at every item. I have lots of memories with her and I running around not knowing where we would end up! I love her dearly and I know she is reunited with Uncle Harold and many others. You will be missed. ❤️🙏
Stan,
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Praying for comfort and peace as you navigate through this difficult time.
Mrs. Emma will be missed here on Earth. I can not recall a time she was not smiling from church events to her time working at the school! I hate I will not be around to attend visitation but I send my love and hugs to the family.
